The GIANT consortium is a collaboration between investigators from many different groups, institutions, countries, and studies, and the results represent their combined efforts. The primary approach has been meta-analysis of genome-wide association data and other large-scale genetic data sets. Anthropometric traits that have been studied by GIANT include body mass index (BMI), height, and traits related to waist circumference (such as waist-hip ratio adjusted for BMI, or WHRadjBMI). Thus far, the GIANT consortium has identified common genetic variants at hundreds of loci that are associated with anthropometric traits."Resource Descriptionresource_descriptionGIANT consortiumAdditional Nameeagle-i_synonym2016-07-08T15:18:50.397-04:00fcoldren2016-07-13T18:37:44.647-04:00workflow statePublishedfcoldrenAgentagentagentagentOrganizationorganizationorganizationorganizationmaterial_entityindependent_continuantcontinuantentity
